Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4367958, member: 12088"] It's hair raising, but you have to be right about this, maybe even optimistic about the 5-10 game estimate. So, yes, Aubrey and Ayanna are likely to do time at the 3. If we manage to avoid major injuries to the guards, I think we can count on at least 30 mins/game from Azzi, and something similar from Caroline. With Nika, it's only injuries and her offense that could reduce her minutes, but 30 is not unrealistic. That leaves Lou with 30 mins, if her lack of D doesn't keep her off the court. That's the 120 mins we need from 1-3. Of course, this is much too tidy to be realistic, and it doesn't account for times when we'll want all 4 of them on the floor for a 4-out scheme. So even under my hyper-optimistic scenario, Aubrey and Ayanna are likely to be needed to cover the 3 for at least some mins. As far as I can see, the primary differences between Aubrey and Ayanna concern size and speed. Ayanna is bigger and stronger, and Aubrey is likely to be a bit quicker and more experienced. Ayanna showed a perimeter shooting ability in high school, and if that translates to D1, then there's that too. But on D, I expect each of them to be fierce and intimidating. [/QUOTE]
